Clare and Mark Newton are proud to be the owners of this leading chambres d’hôtes in the Lot department. For the 20th consecutive year we offer accommodation of outstanding quality & service combined with unsurpassable evening meals served by past Michelin restaurateurs. We look forward to welcoming guests for our 20th season from Friday 14th May until Sunday 19th September 2027.

We distinguish ourselves by providing a highly personal level of welcome to guests, from their initial enquiry to the arrival. Our home and its grounds are maintained to provide an ambience of genuine relaxation for our customers – whether sitting under the dappled shade of the Tilleul tree by the sunny terrace, in the large ‘séjour’ with ample comfortable seating or in the privacy of the award-winning bedrooms, we want all our guests to enjoy the tranquility of the timeless French countryside.
…and we have a unique surprise!
With past cooking awards from over 13 years restaurant experience, culminating in 34 years at professional level, our seven course dinner reflects our passion to showcase the very best of gourmet and locally sourced produce to a very high level of precision.
With much gratitude to many of our customers (who possess extensive fine-dining knowledge), they have reputed us equivalent to many of the finest gastronomic venues in France; making la Métairie des Songes a destination for all food lovers.
